According to the biblical description of creation, the earth itself existed from the beginning, whereas the stars, sun, and moon were created on the fourth day - the biblical description of creation has this backwards.
According to the biblical description of creation, plant life was created before the sun - the biblical description of creation has this backwards.
Ahem
Where did the Bible says God "created" the sun/stars on the fourth day?
See this is where evolutionists go seriously wrong.
They insult creationists then interpret the Bible the same erroneous way creationists do...
Go figure...
Chum, The Bible does not say God "created" the sun, moon, earth on the fourth day it says he "MADE" them.
People disregard what words are written when they do not believe they have integrity...
If the Bible had meant "created" it would have used that word... but God used the word "made"...
So much for skills of observation.
So both creationists and science minded people don't know how to read.
They don't know that to "make" something is to take matter from existing creation but to create something is to bring into existence something that has never been before...
In the beginning God created... this is the creation that the sun moon etc... were created... In Eden things were just "revamped"... the only thing in Eden that was "created" was the spirit in humans as God's image... other than that things were only made or formed.
The creation of these things were created millions of years before in the second heaven and earth (Eden). If it does mention creation in regard to the sun moon etc in the seven day period is because ultimately God did create them but just much earlier... After creation (of sun stars moon earth) God said let there be light (we did have and ice age of darkness...)
The sun moon stars earth were "created millions of years before Eden when the Angels were created... (this story is told in Ezekiel.)
When Eden opens Lucifer is a snake... did God create the angel of light that way? NO, he became that way over millions of years... (through treason)
How can the Bible ever be understood when both Christians and scientists don't know how to read and understand basic nuances of words like... made, formed and created?
God formed man from the dust of the ground (that takes time). How many forms did man take on before God was done? It does not say God "created" man from the dust of the ground it says God "formed" man... That my friend is evolution and where did anyone get the idea it was a poof there man is idea is beyond me...
Humans were created in the first heaven and earth that is why the body and soul were only formed (body) and made (soul) did not have to be "created" (spirit).
They were formed from existing materials that were created in verse one of the Bible in the first beginning, millions if not billions of years before Eden...
There were days before the first day but they were just measured in darkness...
